I planned to be in Silverton from 7/26-7/31 then move up to Ouray 7/31 to 8/2 then returning. It looks like I won't have a problem getting to Ouray on 7/31 with maintenance ending on 7/30.
Do we want to start a roster of members and dates?

Kinda like pouring salt on a wound posting in this thread imho.
Maybe we should post that in another part of the forum- over here: Trails - Events - Expeditions - https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/trails-events-expeditions.11/
I hear they cancelled the closure of 550. Can anyone confirm?

Another one followed me home. Can we keep it?
I can’t confirm, as we’re still a week away, but this was posted in the 200 series LCDC thread:
Events/Trails - LCDC 7 - Summer 2021 Official Thread
We’ll take a look at the timing and adjust as needed. The last I knew this work wasn’t supposed to be happening until mid-August but obviously things can change!

The planned road closure has been delayed thru end of August at least.
From the mayor of Ouray on July 16th:
Important Update to the Proposed Closure of 550!
Thanks to a team effort, we were able to delay the work that would have had significant daily closures of 550 during the peak of our season. We hope to be meeting with representatives of SMPA and CDOT in the near future to find a schedule for the project that is less impactful to our community.
From the City, I would like to thank Mayor Pro Tem Wood, Councilman Boyd and Administrator Clarke for their support in making this happen. I’d also like to thank those from Silverton, San Juan County and various state entities for their support when I called. And thanks to the Board and Engineering Manager from SMPA as well as CDOT for listening and responding to our concerns.
We will provide updates as more information becomes available.
I'm feeling sad that I am late to this conversation. But the sadness is dampened by the fact that I'm going to be camping at Eureka CG north of Silverton 7/27 - 8/1. I have plans to run trails with a couple people over those 4 days. I'd love to get together with others but this damn pandemic has me limiting social interactions. I have an autoimmune disease and take immune suppressors to control it so I'm at a higher risk than the average 45-year old. So if you see me in my white '99 LC with a Gamiviti roof rack, BIOR rear bumper, MetalTech sliders and TrekboxX sticker indicating the tailgate cover I won in the raffle (shameless plug for HIH Sponsors), say hi as we pass on the trails. My wife, two adult children and dog will be joining me.

Feel free to meet up and tag along. We can split into two groups to keep it distanced. Typical meet up location is the gas station south end of town in the open area. If your around at 830 there’s usually some folks meeting up. We’ll be there 28-1st

Today would have been our departure day, but we had to cancel due to house purchase/remodel and closing on the sale of the old place. We'll see everyone next year for sure! have fun, be safe and take lots of pics!

Normally registration is around mid March, but with people having registered ~3/2020, and then having HIH cancelled for 2020 & 2021, it may work differently this year.
